iGaming and sports betting operator BetMGMhas announced a partnership with Score Gaming, a specialist in table games and side bets, to launch Double-Up Blackjack. Now available online for the first time, the game is exclusively accessible at BetMGM Casino and Borgata Online in New Jersey.

The additional bet can be any amount up to the original bet's limit. The game employs Score Gaming's proprietary End 16 Rule, which enhances the game by ensuring players can win, but can never lose when the dealer has a 16.
Double-Up Blackjack also introduces the16 Bonus side bet, which pays out when the dealer reaches a total of 16, with payouts varying based on the number of cards used by the dealer, with payouts of up to 500x.
